is said to be an entry way to the dharma.
dana paramita
Buddhist morality is not about unquestioning obedience to
a list of rules. Yes, there are precepts, but the precepts are
something like training wheels. They guide us until we find
our own balance. An enlightenment being is said to respond
correctly to all situations without having to consult a list of
rules.
sila paramita
is patience, tolerance (pagpaparaya), forbearance
(pagtitiis), endurance , or composure. It literally means “able
to withstand”.
ksanti paramita
It is said there are three dimensions to
ksanti:
The ability to endure personal hardship
Patience with others
Acceptance of truth
begins with acceptance of four
noble of truths, including the truth of suffering (dukkha).
Through practice our attention turns away from our own
suffering and toward the suffering of others.
ksanti paramita
is energy or zeal. It comes from an ancient Indian –
Iranian word that means “hero”, and it is also the root of
the English word “virile”
virya paramita
also means “concentration”, and in this
case great concentration is applied to achieve
clarity and insight.
A word closely related to dhyana is samadhi, which
means “concentration”. Samadhi refers to a
single-pointed concentration in which all sense of
self falls away.
dyana paramita
In Mahayana Buddhism, wisdom is the
direct and intimate realization of sunyata,
or emptiness. Very simply, this is the
teaching that all phenomena are without
self-essence.
prajna paramita

Paramita is Prajan, the raison d’etre of the
Buddha Way.
Robert Aitken Roshi
All phenomena are without self – essence may not strike
you as especially wise, but as you work with prajna
teachingthe significance of sunyata becomes more and more
evident, and importance of sunyata to Mahayana Buddhism
cannot be overstated.
prajna paramita
There are three Pure Precepts, called the Three
Root Precepts are practiced in some Mahayana
schools. They are said to be the basis of all Buddhist
morality.
To do no evil
To do good
To save all beings.
In his
book of being: Moral and Ethical Teaching of Zen
Buddhism, John Daido Loori Roshi, wrote them this
way.
Not creating evil
Practicing good
Actualizing good for others
-this is a compassionate wish to realize
enlightenment for all beings, not just oneself – is
at the heart of Mahayana Buddhism.
